How Did Hawaii Change

Geology of the Hawaiian Island Chain The chain of Hawaiian Islands formed as the Pacific plate moved over a hot spot in the mantle of the Earth. The plate slowly moves northwestward at a rate of about 32 miles per million years. The northwestern islands are older and generally smaller due to prolonged exposure and erosion. Plate tectonics, types of volcanoes, hot spots, and sea mounts, are all an important part of the geology of the hawaiian island chain.

Hawaii Island is the biggest island in the Hawaiian chain with climatic differences over its 7 fundamental areas: Kona, Hilo, Kohala Coast, North Kohala, the Hamakua Coast, Puna and Kau. Hawaii Island is 4,028 sq. miles so enormous truth be told, the other Hawaiian Islands could fit on it almost twice.

The Hawaiian Islands are an incredible place to visit and explore. I have visited there twice now, and the sights are amazing. This assignment came up right after I got back from my last trip, and one thing that had my interest while I was there was the islands’ formations. Flying in the first time, I enjoyed being able to see the islands come into view after being over water for 6 hours. Doing snorkeling adventures, I visited Molokini Crater.

Throughout the novel, The Kite Runner, Hosseini was able to provide various ways in which cruelty had been exposed within each character. Most cruelty can form either satisfaction for some or guilt for others. Amir was exposed by being a cruel perpetrator and a guilty victim. Once he was told there is a way to be good again, he took advantage to complete his hope for redemption.

In Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner, the theme of shame is shown through the character of Amir, and through the culture of Kabul. Amir represents shame in his recognition of his actions. While his actions during Hassan’s rape were cowardly enough, he realizes that he should have done something, or at least tell someone. In not doing either, Amir acknowledges what he was supposed to do, and ignores it, berating himself all the while for what he knows he ought to have done.

In the passage by American journalist, Robert Krulwich, “What happened On Easter Island- A New (Even Scarier) Scenario,” represses the idea that many believed about the Eastern Island. In which the inhabitants brought forward the destruction of the island by deforestation, or how Jared Diamond calls it, ecocide. Mr. Krulwich begins with the old story that everyone believes, and gradually builds up on to a more scientific method of what happen to the island. He introduces several references throughout the passage, giving him more credibility and sharing more information with the reader in case they would like more evidence on the topic, aside from credibility standards, he divides the article into sections with sub tittles for an easier approach transitioning from section to section.

The destruction of the Han Dynasty began many years ago. The Han empire's institutions were destroyed by the warlord Dong Zhuo, and fractured into regional regimes ruled by various warlords. Eventually, one of those warlords, Cao Cao, was able to gradually reunify the empire. However, the empire was controlled by Cao Cao himself, not Emperor Xian. Cao Cao's efforts to completely reunite the Han empire were rejected at the Battle of Red Cliffs in 208-209AD, when his armies were defeated by the allied forces of Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

One day, I would like to visit Hawaii for the warm weather and beautiful scenery on the island. First of all, Hawaii is a volcanic island in the central region of the Pacific ocean. It was originally the Republic of Hawaii until 1898 when it followed annexation to be a U.S territory in 1900. Annexation is to add to one’s own territory. Hawaii was a native kingdom all through the 19th century.

The Hawaiian people should be getting restitution for their losses, not the state. A law requires the state to collect money for rent on Mauna Kea and according to Kahea.org they state that a night in an observatory can go up to $80,000 a night. The state should be receiving around $80,000 dollars a night per observatory; but the ones receiving the money from these nights are the observatories themselves which means the state gets nothing but the rent. It is very disrespectful that we are losing our lands, or in the Hawaiian culture, losing our connection to the gods without our consent. We need some type of restitution to help make our losses a little bit easier to handle; because right now it is a double loss for the Hawaiian people.

Hawaii’s culture is about 1500 years old. The culture started when Polynesians voyaged to Hawaii and settled there. Hawaiian culture is based on three main aspects. Food such as broiling pig, taro and banana. Dance including the hula or as it was traditionally called Kahiko and warfare/weapons examples including the Koa and different forms of training and attach techniques.
